Fifty five patients of extensive psoriasis were treated with oral weekly methotrexate. All patients responded promptly to methotrexate therapy. Relapse was observed after variable periods following stoppage of methotrexate. Safety, efficacy, maintenance dose, relapse and long term effects of methotrexate in psorasis are discussed.
